Temperatures rise and fall in the long historical picture regardless of CO2 levels. In fact, CO2 levels are fairly low right now compared to life-flourishing eras.

2. Modern History Shows Similar Temps in Medieval Warm Period

Forget the “hockey stick” graph the IPCC whipped out to stoke fears of a global apocalypse; such warming is not unprecedented.

3. More About the Medieval Warm Period

Before the Industrial Revolution took hold, there was a period of warming that allowed the Vikings to more easily explore the North Atlantic and settle Greenland. Other historical studies, some based on tree-ring data, suggest asimilar period of warming in Roman times.

Mankind has about zero control over the volume of atmospheric water vapor, which is about 90% to 95% (varies by location) of what is commonly referred to as the “greenhouse effect.”

6. Mankind’s Production of Carbon Dioxide by Burning Fossil Fuels is a Little Over 3% by Volume

Since man has only produced somewhat over 3% of atmospheric carbon dioxide, that means man is responsible for a little over 0.28% of the “greenhouse effect,” when one accounts for water vapor. That’s based on Department of Energy figures.

7. The Decreasing Effect of Adding More Carbon Dioxide to the Atmosphere

Adding more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere does not lead to a linear effect on “thermal forcing,” but a logarithmic one. That means the more CO2 is added, the less of a “warming” effect it has.

8. Forecasts (Including from the U.N.) Do Not Match the Recent Temperature Record

9. Five Major Temp. Datasets Show No Statistically Significant Warming for 17 Years

10. Greenland Ice Core Samples Show Major Fluctuations in Temperatures

11. Hurricanes Per Decade On the Decline

12. Last Year’s Hurricane Reporting from the U.S. was One of the Lowest on Record

13. Deadliest Atlantic Hurricanes in Historical Perspective

Of course, early warning systems improve survivability, but do not mitigate monetary damage from hurricanes (which is obviously up, due to factors like economic development on coastal shorelines).

14. Deadliest Pacific Hurricanes in Historical Perspective

Again, no trend in fatalities from hurricanes.

15. Hurricane Landfalls in the Longer View

No trend in hurricane landfalls; 1887 was one of the most frequent on record.

16. One of the Lowest Tornado Counts on Record: 2013

17. One of the Lowest Readings for 100 Degree Temperature Days: 2013

18. Snowfall is Showing a Slight Increase Since 1967

19. Tropical Storms Down to Mid-1970s Levels

Global Tropical Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is fluctuating as usual – in defiance of predictions from the “the consensus.”

20. Recent Forest Fire Counts

Forest fires show almost no recent trend; although they recently tend to domore damage per acre. Changes to forestry practices may be a contributing factor to why forest fires spread more uncontrollably.

21. NASA Satellite Shows Arctic Ice Growth

It’s important not to monitor Arctic and Antarctic ice levels by taking a snapshot at one moment and forgetting all historical precendent; witness Arctic ice growth year-on-year in August 2013.

22. Arctic Ice Continues to Grow (as of February 2014)

In February 2014, Cryo-satellite images showed Arctic ice volume continued to growinto October 2013.

23. Fatalities Due to Natural Disasters Has Plummed 98% Since the 1920s

A study by the Reason Foundation in 2011 found that deaths due to natural disasters have plummeted by 98% since the 1920s. Whether it’s from early warning systems or better adaptation to climate (central heating and cooling, e.g.), this stat shows no trend that Nature is threatening humanity’s very survival.

24. Despite Having the World’s Biggest Economy, the U.S. is Not the World’s Leading CO2-Emitter

25. U.S. is One of the Few Global Economic Powerhouses to Actually Cut CO2 Emissions

If anything, these charts show that we will have to continue adapting to Nature, just like life on this planet has always had to do.

But what the demands of adapting to Nature don’t demand is authoritarian control over energy and industry by central governments. Because if anything, the examples of history and the modern day (see Russia, China, et al.) show that this way of looking at things is “on the wrong side of history.”

As President Obama begins his unconstitutional push to deprive Americans of more money and economic freedom in the vain crusade of “saving the planet,” and Prince Charles flips his hole cards by explicitly tying “global warming” to anti-capitalist economy, people should ask themselves: just howdo these governments plan to stop the climate from changing?
